Toyota Prado

The 4th generation Toyota Land Cruiser Prado was launched in 2009. Globally, the Prado is offered in both 5-door and 3-door versions, but in Pakistan, only the 5-door version is available. The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is offered in three versions: TX 3.0D (Diesel), VX 3.0 (Diesel), and VX 4.0 (Petrol). The Prado has always been popular in Pakistan, and the price of the 4th generation significantly increased compared to the previous generation, yet remains competitive within its class.

Toyota Prado Exterior

The bodywork of the Prado has always been impressive, and it is widely admired. While older models had a strong and durable body, the latest model features a facelift that has completely transformed the SUV. The front grille along with the LED lights give it a robust look. The rear of the luxury SUV is equally commendable.

Toyota Prado Interior

The interior of the Toyota Prado is spacious and comfortable, providing ample space for passengers to relax and stretch. The dashboard is straightforward and easy to use. Adding seats to the third row makes it a 7-seater car, though not all models come with built-in third-row seats. The beige interior with wooden trim offers a classy look. The interior is somewhat similar to the TLC 200 series; the buttons are not very modern, but they are functional. Overall, the interior is good, though it could be better.
